VHL closed on Bank Holiday Monday

The library will be closed next Monday (25th August) for the Bank Holiday. We will be open again at 9am on Tuesday morning.

Remote access, OxLIP+ and ILL charges

Various things to update you all on now we're into August:

• Remote Access: Athens will no longer work to allow access to electronic resources from outside the University. Instead resources will require you to authenticate using your Oxford single sign-on (the same as your webmail username and password). The best way to do this (without VPN) is to log in via the new OxLIP+ interface (from where you can also click through to OU ejournals). For more information, see the OULS remote access page.
• OxLIP+: This is the new interface to electronic resources, currently in beta launch. As well as access to all the resources, it includes some cross-searching facilities and personalised features (My Research). It can be accessed via: http://oxlip-plus.ouls.ox.ac.uk.
• Inter-library loan charges have increased to £4.00 per request (£12.00 for international requests).

The list of new books received in the library in July is now available on our website and LibraryThing page.
